Discover hidden worlds when you zoom down through the close-up capability of your lens. Reveal tiny details and miniature landscapes – a fungus the size of a nut blooms into a radiant flower; a brick surface is revealed as a vibrant abstract painting!

This two-day workshop, with photographer Jeremy Webb focuses on how to make the most of the close-up or macro setting on your digital camera. On Saturday Jeremy will demonstrate and we’ll use different locations in Halesworth to capture the fine detail of man-made and natural subjects, finishing with hands-on training in Photoshop editing. On Sunday we’ll work at the Media Centre to turn our images into abstract, expressive, or hyper-reality art. Further info from jrwebb@virginmedia.com

All you need to bring with you is a digital camera with macro or close-up setting and cable connections for downloading via a USB port or card reader.

Mel Horwood and Mary Anne Woolf are joining forces to lead a workshop that combines drawing and movement. Mel, who has run sessions at previous Sculpture Trails, has a background in community and contemporary dance and film-making. Mary Anne comes from a visual arts background and is interested in exploring different forms of expression and their interactions, and the way they shape our experience of the world. The aim of the workshop is for participants to enjoy the site at Raveningham in a unique way, guided by artists from different art forms but with a common interest in creative responses to landscape. The session is suitable for anyone (adults and children 12 years+) regardless of previous training or experience as it will start with the basics of movement in space and on paper.
